|
|
| |

|
|
| |
(3) Where a planning scheme contains a provision under this section requiring the responsible authority to divide land into units, such planning scheme may contain provisions enabling such responsible authority to make alterations in the boundaries of any one or more of such units and, if any such provision is contained in a planning scheme, the immediately preceding sub-section of this section shall apply and have effect in relation to an alteration or a refusal to make an alteration under such provision in like manner as it applies and has effect in relation to a division under a provision requiring the responsible authority to divide land into units.
|
